She Believes in Me

While she lays sleeping, I stay out late at night and play my songs

And sometimes all the night can be so long

And it's good when I finally make it home, all alone

While she lays dreaming, I try to get undressed without the light

And quietly she says how was your night?

And I come to her and say, it was all right, and I hold her tightAnd she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me

I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world

With my little songs, I was wrong

But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully

And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right

I will find a way, find a wayWhile she lays waiting, I stumble to the kitchen for a bite

Then I see my old guitar in the night

Just waiting for me like a secret friend, and there's no end

While she lays crying, I fumble with a melody or two

And I'm torn between the things that I should do

And she says to wake her up when I am through,

God her love is trueAnd she believes in me, I'll never know just what she sees in me

I told her someday if she was my girl, I could change the world

With my little songs, I was wrong

But she has faith in me, and so I go on trying faithfully

And who knows maybe on some special night, if my song is right

I will find a way, while she waits, while she waits for me!
